I visited Knidos about a year ago, driving an hour out from Marmaris. It's on the end of a peninsula at the place where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas meet: a beautiful site with two harbors and several cliffs for plunging to one's death. I learned the story of this statue there, and I really loved the way you told it.
Thank you so much 🥹🥹 I was working on one today that’ll come out in two weeks that I hope you’ll enjoy ~ all about an ancient artist and the fragmentation of the female ❣️

I’m so glad 💛 and quite jealous you’ve actually been to Knidos, it’s very much on my list!
Please never stop posting on substack, I learn so much from your posts! The parallels you've drawn are quite interesting and got me thinking!

Where is this housed re assembled? I am only aware of the art institute of Chicago which houses headless armless version??
The restored version I included is the Ludovisi Knidian Aphrodite, housed in the Museo Nazionale Romano.
Thank you! Beautiful
I fell in love / lust with the Aphrodite of Syracuse state in the Athens archeological museum she is my siren. Wait you have clothing free evens!
